THE SWEET SPOT: HOW AUSTRALIA MADE ITS OWN LUCK – AND COULD NOW THROW IT ALL AWAY
Book ID/图书代码: 01899513B66836
English Summary/英文概要: Australians now officially have the best living conditions in the world. Our country is both fair and free – and the only developed nation to have avoided a recession in the past twenty years. So how did it happen and why don’t we care?
In The Sweet Spot Peter Hartcher takes readers on a vastly entertaining and thought-provoking tour through Australian politics and history. He shows how a convict colony could have become a banana republic but didn’t, how Australia came through the global financial crisis – it wasn’t just the mining boom – and how we could now throw our success away if we don’t recognise our strengths and demand true leadership of our politicians.
Hartcher argues that Australia’s prosperity was not built on dumb luck. Is it perfect? Of course not. But on some of the most important and apparently intractable problems of the modern world, Australia, believe it or not, is as good as it gets. And the beaches aren’t bad either.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 澳大利亚人现在正式拥有世界上最好的生活条件。我们的国家是公平和自由——而且是唯一的在过去的二十年里避免衰退的发达国家。那么它是怎么发生的,为什么我们不关心?
在《最佳状态》中,彼得带领读者踏上娱乐性和发人深省的旅程来浏览澳大利亚的政治和历史。他展示了为什么一个殖民地有可能成为一个香蕉共和国,却最终没有;澳大利亚如何来度过全球金融危机—— 它不只是矿业繁荣;如果我们不能认识到我们的优势和对政治的真正领导的需求,我们会扔掉现在的成功。
彼得认为澳大利亚的繁荣不是建立在好运气上。它是完美的?当然不是。但在一些现代世界最重要和最明显棘手的问题上,澳大利亚,信不信由你,它得到的相当不错。而且,海滩也不坏。(LNL)
